    the 5e changes are shaping up to be errata and overall balance changes. They’ve already said all past 5e books will still be completely useable and relevant.

      I mean they’ll still be relevant because we can still run 5e all tou want, but after the OGL debacle do you really believe them when they say they’ll work with the new addition?

        That along with the Pinkerton’s incident has me considering never giving them another dime.

          5e ended with xanathar’s guide for me. Everything I’ve found that i wanted after that was 3rd party creators on kickstarter. Hasbro just doesn’t understand the game well enough to produce its content

            I totally see where you’re coming from, though I have several books past that point and am running my group through a heavily modified Wild Beyond the Witchlight at the moment and was even working on a book to add on to it.

            Still will finish it but not so interested in trying to monetize it with WOTC.

      I think they say that so that it doesn’t tank existing sales or sales of upcoming books. It won’t be long before we see bigger changes or incompatible ones. Then we’ll see the release of the new shiny give us all of your money again books.
